PlastererPete Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I have a 12v socket on the rear bulkhead between the seats of my CSR. Its the original one and seems to be getting a tad tired. Plugging a usb adaptor in seems to intermittently charge my phone and X3. I’ve sanded the inside of it but it hasnt improved so guessing it needs replacement. Only way I can see to get access to it would be from underneath avoiding the prop-shaft and diff. Is there any easer way that I’ve missed?

SamC Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Pete, I fitted diff struts to mine last year and when I was doing so I had to remove the riveted boot panel that sits behind the seats. I refitted it using rivnuts so that it screws in and out easily. With that removed changing the socket is a piece of cake. (As is diff oil replacement, cleaning etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 5 Member Share Posted May 5 If you end up replacing the unit I suggest fitting one with both cigar lighter and built-in USB sockets, at least one of which should be nominal 2.1 A for the quickest possible charging.

PlastererPete Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Thanks gents. Looks like I’ll have to investigate the boot floor and see whats occurring. Annoying thing is, the Optimate charger still works fine using it to maintain the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastererPete Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Weathers crap so took a look at it today. Managed to bend a couple of tabs out and remove it via the cockpit with minimal grunting. Thanks gents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
